Most of the time we are able to recognize and tag appropriate elements in these messages and create appropriate rules. Sometimes this requires a bit of interpretation... when we feel we have a problem with something we reach for babblefish or use some of our internal abilities (Gonzo does pretty well with German, we all can take a stab at Spanish from time to time...) Most spam takes a similar form no matter what language - so we can most frequently get by with architectural features and other research tools we have. (Our robots add a lot of data to SPHUD and often grab critical elements of spam on their way in...) Hope this helps, _M This E-Mail came from the Message Sniffer mailing list.
